Ever worn earrings that made your ears itch or left your skin green? That’s usually a reaction to metals like nickel, brass, or copper—commonly used in low-cost or imitation jewelry.
That’s where hypoallergenic jewelry comes in.
What Does “Hypoallergenic” Mean in Jewelry?
Hypoallergenic jewelry is made with metals that are less likely to cause allergic reactions. This means it:
- Doesn’t contain nickel or other known irritants
- Is safe for sensitive or allergy-prone skin
- Can be worn daily—even in humid or sweaty weather
If you have eczema, metal allergies, or sensitive ears, choosing hypoallergenic pieces is essential.
Best Materials for Hypoallergenic Jewelry
Not all metals are created equal when it comes to skin safety. Here are the best ones to look for:
- Stainless Steel – Strong, non-reactive, tarnish-resistant
- Sterling Silver (92.5%) – Gentle on most skin types when pure
- Titanium – Lightweight, biocompatible, used in medical-grade jewelry
- Solid Gold (14K–22K) – Naturally hypoallergenic but comes at a premium
Avoid these metals:
- Brass
- Copper
- Mixed alloys
- Jewelry labeled only as “gold-toned”
These can oxidize, cause rashes, and leave green stains.
Why Wisteria Jewelry Is Hypoallergenic
At Wisteria, we design all our demi-fine jewelry with skin safety in mind. Every piece is:
- Made with 316L stainless steel
- Coated in 18K gold using IP/PVD plating
- Finished with nickel-free layers
This ensures zero irritation, even with all-day wear in Indian weather.
You don’t have to choose between style and comfort—we give you both.
How to Tell If Jewelry Is Hypoallergenic
Here’s what to look for when buying online:
- The product clearly states “nickel-free” or “hypoallergenic”
- The brand discloses the base metal and plating type
- Reviews mention no skin reactions or green marks
If the website doesn’t provide this info, it’s better to avoid the purchase—especially for earrings or rings.
Hypoallergenic jewelry isn’t just for people with allergies—it’s a better choice for anyone who values comfort, skin safety, and long-term wearability.
At Wisteria, every piece is made to be worn—not just admired.
